From pea soup fog to heavy rains

Dense Fog Advisories up until 11am for all counties except Walworth. Some visibilities are less than 1/4 mile. Allow extra time for travel early morning. A Flood Watch starts this afternoon and will be in effect until Friday afternoon.

A stationary front across northern Illinois will be the focus for periods of rain and storms through Friday. Disturbances will wobble along the front. Some disturbances will be stronger/wetter than others leading to locally heavy rain.

Winds will generally from the northeast keeping highs near 40 for much of the week. Winds will gust Wednesday and Thursday up to 30mph making for raw weather. We could see a light mix of rain/snow early Thursday morning.

We do have concern for wet snow potential later Thursday as colder air begins to intrude. For now, it looks like a mix possible with some wet accumulations later Thursday night in our north counties. This is very temperature dependent-stay with Weather Watch 12 for updates.

Finally looking at drier weather and some sunshine for Saturday.

Please send us your photos of the rain to ulocal or our Facebook and Twitter pages.
